i've been looking for a good stock in a jar for a while but often faced with products with dodgy ingredients on most supermarket shelves. this product is great! and i feel confident using it for the family. highly recommended.

I bought this as an alternative to Bovril (which is no longer beef based from here) and the carton beef stock that my mum buys. It has a nice beefy taste and I just use it as a soup base when I cook noodles.

Flavor is much better than boxed stock and you can control the intensity by adding more or less. I like a beefy tasting sauce, soup or stew. Convenience is great and according to PBS, America's Test Kitchen TV show, it can stay refrigerated for up to 2 years although they didn't qualify that statement indicating if it applied also to already opened jars. Nonetheless I have tried various boxed stocks and they all have other ingredients added and have a weak beef flavor so this is much better suited to my tastes. The only thing I would prefer is less salt. I compensate by not adding salt to whatever I'm cooking. I would like though to have the control of salt left up to me. Other than the salt issue this product is great and I've made this, the chicken, and vegetable base a pantry staple and intend to add the clam base.

Great USDA Organic product to use in making soup! I appreciate the fact that this item is made from real Roasted Beef with natural juices. This tastes way better than Bouillon! I use this all the time! It is good for flavoring soup, stews or gravy. One jar lasts a LONG time! You don't need to use a lot for great flavor!
